Fiscal policy is hard to swallow

Why is it that the conservative message of fiscal sanity is not more widely embraced?

Simply put, the liberal message is easy - goes down like candy. If you want free stuff, the liberal message attracts. The government will take care of you, get you free stuff, even if it has to borrow money it doesn't have, or better yet, if it can extract just a little bit more from the "rich" and "well connected."

The conservative message, on the other hand, goes down like medicine. We can't keep borrowing as if our credit will always be good. We've got to make adjustments in order to maintain valid safety-net programs for the long run. That message sounds "mean," "uncaring." But which message speaks the truth?

The truth shines through for all to see, but there are none so blind as those who will not see.
